Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburger shop opens in Round Rock

A new eatery serving up Chicago-style hot dogs, fresh-fired steakburgers and frozen custard has opened in Round Rock.

San Antonio franchise company South Texas Custard Ltd. opened a Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers shop at 707 Round Rock Ave. The restaurant sells a mix of savory entrees, custard and custard cakes, a frozen dessert similar to ice cream.

The Round Rock store employs about 35 employees and is the Texas partners' third Austin area location. The owners James Oberg, Ron Oberg, Jeff Rochelle and George Shaw III also operate locations in Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Bastrop, South Padre Island, Seguin, Del Rio and Kerrville.

Freddy's Frozen Custard LLC is based in Wichita, Kan. and was founded in 2002. The restaurant is named after World War II veteran and Purple Heart recipient Freddy Simon.
